Barcelona, SPAIN-September 13, 2012-- Taitale
Studios, the completely independent shop behind the hotly
anticipated MMORTS title, Novus AEterno, is getting great buzz and
critical acclaim following its showing at PAX Prime August 31 -
September 2, 2012 where it received several awards and nominations
for everything from "Most Innovative" to "Best Customization",
"Best Surprise Reveal" and more. The game is expected to go into an
exclusive testing phase where its "infiltrators" will be among the
first to play the game.

MMORPG picked only the top 5 titles from PAX Prime and Novus
AEterno was one of the titles they felt rose to the top as the
MOST INNOVATIVE title of the show: "Novus
Aeterno was our winner for Most Innovative Game at PAX Prime 2012
for good reason: It's an up-and-comer that will shake both MMO and
RTS genres to their very core."

MMORPG also stated, that Novus Aeterno "is the real deal,
embodying both the massive multiplayer online experience with the
real-time strategy genre. It is the perfect blending of the two
that ultimately creates something entirely new on the scene."
Finally they said of the game, "If the team behind Novus Aeterno
can pull it off, it's certainly going to be one of the most
genre-busting (or genre-expanding) games ever to come down the
pike."

MMOHuts.com named Novus its BEST RTS of PAX 2012 saying "With
massive galactic worlds, clever combinations of community and
resource management, and a setting where PvE and PvP are one and
the same, you really can't hang with Novus Aeterno in the space RTS
setting right now."

Novus also took home several Runner-up nominations from ONRPG
and MMOhut including one for
BEST INDIE saying ".about as Indie as they get,
built from a team founded by the 16 year old prodigy Nick
Nieuwoudt, in just 6 years he has acquired a team of devs, writers,
artists, programmers, and even Major General Jim Hunt of the US
Airforce to ensure that every bit of the tactical aspects of this
game are spot on to reality." Novus was also nominated as
BEST SURPRISE REVEAL citing that it ".came out of
nowhere and blew the show away with some of the most advanced
customization features we've ever seen in an RTS and finally it
scored a nod as runner-up for
BEST CUSTOMIZATION " Novus Aeterno pops up again
due to the insane amounts of tweaks and mods you can make to your
arsenal of air ships. Starting from 5 basic archetypes, you can
build and paint your ships to not only look the way you want, but
bring the utility and firepower you desire."

RTS Guru says of Novus "It is the biggest ding-dong-danged space
RTS you can imagine." STFUandPlay.com named Novus its Best RTS of
PAX Prime and Gamebreaker.tv says of the game "If you're an RTS
fan, you owe it to yourself to check out
Novus AEterno."
